It’s been such an art filled holiday season, so it’s only fitting that this week’s guest on Episode 3 of Crafts, Cocktails and Conversations with Carmeon Hamilton is one of my absolute favorite artists, Frances Berry Moreno !!!

Based in Memphis, TN for the past twelve years, Frances started her artistic career as a photographer. Midway through her masters degree at the Memphis College of Art, she discarded all of her cameras and slowly evolved into the mixed media artist presented to you today. Frances’ artwork embodies her bold spirit through the use of bright colors, text, nude imagery and abstract accents.

We’ve been a dynamic duo for years and that energy is evident while we sipped Feliz Navidads (Mexican Mules) and Hand-Painted Nutcrackers in this episode. Check it out!

After watching, jump back over to the blog; we will be sharing breakdowns of the cocktail, craft, and outfit for each episode so that you can recreate the fun on your own. Thanks so much for being here, and we hope you enjoy!

xo, Carmeon
